HISA Submits Proposed Enforcement and Registration Rules Changes to FTC

[Wandering Eyes]

The Horseracing Integrity and Safety Authority (HISA) has submitted proposed changes to its Enforcement Rules (Rule Series 8000) and Registration Rules (Rule Series 9000) to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) for review.

The FTC will subsequently post the proposed rules to the public register for public comment.

Until changes to the Enforcement Rules and Registration Rules are approved by the FTC, the previously approved version of the  rules will remain in place. Those rules are available in full on HISA's Regulations Page.

HISA's proposed changes to the Enforcement and Registration Rules were developed after dialogue with and feedback from racing participants across the country. Proposed redline changes to the Enforcement and Registration Rules were also published on HISA's website for industry input. The proposed changes submitted to the FTC Wednesday were reviewed and approved by HISA's Board of Directors.

When and if these rule changes are approved by the FTC, HISA will undertake robust educational efforts to ensure horsemen nationwide are fully aware of these changes and well-equipped to comply with them before they go into effect.

Proposed changes to HISA's Racetrack Safety Program (Rule Series 2000) were submitted to the FTC for review last week, and proposed changes to HISA's Anti-Doping and Medication Control Rules (Rule Series 1000, 3000, 4000, 5000, 6000 and 7000) are available now for industry and public input on HISA's website and will be submitted to the FTC for review later this fall.
